  • MikroTik IPIP Tunnel with IPsec (Site to Site VPN)

    VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a technology that provides a secure tunnel across a public network. A private network user can send and receive data to any remote private network using VPN Tunnel as if his/her network device was directly connected to that private network. MikroTik provides IPIP tunnel that is used to create a site to site VPN. IPIP tunnel is a simple protocol that encapsulates IP packets in IP to make a tunnel between two routers. To encapsulate an IP packet in another IP packet, an outer header is added mentioning the entry point of the tunnel (SourceIP) and the exit point of the tunnel (DestinationIP) but the inner packet is kept unmodified. IPIP tunnel only encapsulates IP packets but does not provide authentication and encryption. IPIP tunnel with IPsec ensures IP packet encapsulation as well as authentication and encryption. IPsec usage makes your packets secure but it works slowly because of having extra authentication and encryption process. So, my opinion is that if data security is your concern, use IPIP tunnel with IPsec but if data security is not so headache, use only IPIP tunnel because it works so faster. The goal of this article is to [...]
